Description: On July 24, 2025, Hulk Hogan — the larger-than-life wrestling icon who turned leg drops into legend and red-and-yellow into a movement — died of cardiac arrest at the age of 71. With his handlebar mustache, 24-inch pythons, and booming charisma, Hogan transcended the squared circle to become a pop culture phenomenon, anchoring wrestling’s 1980s explosion and redefining what it meant to be a sports entertainer. From the roar of WrestleMania crowds to Saturday morning cartoons and action figures, he embodied an era where heroes were unapologetic, loud, and larger-than-life.
